Then David told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers and to have them raise their voices with joy accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.

Then he gathered all the leaders of Israel, the priests, and the Levites.

Together with Zadok from the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech from the sons of Ithamar, David divided them according to the assigned duties of their service.

Minister

So David left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the Lord’s covenant to minister regularly before the ark according to the daily requirements.

for according to the last words of David, the Levites 20 years old or more were to be counted—

The Lord said to Aaron, “You, your sons, and your ancestral house will be responsible for sin against the sanctuary. You and your sons will be responsible for sin involving your priesthood.

Give thanks to Yahweh; call on His name;
proclaim His deeds among the peoples.

Davidic.Do not be agitated by evildoers;
do not envy those who do wrong.

For the choir director. Davidic. To bring remembrance.God, deliver me.
Hurry to help me, Lord!

Jerusalem,
I have appointed watchmen on your walls;
they will never be silent, day or night.
There is no rest for you,
who remind the Lord.

The lord god

I will keep My covenant between Me and you, and your future offspring throughout their generations, as an everlasting covenant to be your God and the God of your offspring after you.

“Your name will no longer be Jacob,” He said. “It will be Israel because you have struggled with God and with men and have prevailed.”

And he set up an altar there and called it “God, the God of Israel.”

May the Lord God, the God of Israel,
who alone does wonders, be praised.

May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Hallelujah!
